There are strange sightings in Fortnite Season 7, and Cosmic Chests are the ones you’ll see frequently. Here’s where to find them and how to open them.
Cosmic Chests are a new interactive item in Fortnite Season 7, which can be found within matches.
During each match in Duos and above, you will be able to find Cosmic Chests in certain locations. Opening them will grant you all kinds of loot, and you’ll also have the chance to drop alien artifacts to customize your Kymera suit, one of the aspects of this season’s Battle Pass.
This page will explain how to find and open Cosmic Chests in Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 7.

Cosmic Chests Explained: How Cosmic Chests Work in Fortnite
Unlike ordinary chests, Cosmic Chests have a strange appearance and are more elusive in nature.
If you see a floating diamond-shaped object inside the matches, it means you are looking at one. After completing a short sequence, the chest “box” will open and loot will drop from inside.
Cosmic chests seem to work as follows:
- You must play in duos, trios, or squads, as Cosmic Chests will not appear in solo games.
- Once you are in a match with at least one teammate, some specific areas will have a chance to spawn one of the chests.
We have yet to confirm exactly how many can appear in a single match, or if there is a set pattern, but during matches we always stumble upon at least one Cosmic Chest in one of several named locations.
How Cosmic Chest locations work in Fortnite
Regarding locations, there is a chance Cosmic Chests can appear in several named locations when playing in Duos and above:
Examples of possible Cosmic Chest spawn locations in Fortnite.
Due to their random nature, you can expect some of the points to vary slightly from what we describe below: they could be located to the south instead of the west, to give an example.
Fortunately, when you get close, they’re hard to miss, as the game will create a waypoint once you’re close, in addition to appearing on the map.
Below are examples of locations we have found so far:
We found one on the side of the road west of Boney Burbs.
One was found southwest of the bridge that connects Misty Meadows to Catty Corner, right between the mountains.
We discovered one west of the castle at Coral Castle, above water level.
Another was found on the western side of the rocky mountain in Weeping Woods.
One may appear on the side of the road southwest of Steamy Stacks, near the second intersection.
Another may appear on the left side of the road coming from Lazy Lake, just before the intersection with Retail Row.
Finally, we found one west of the center of Pleasant Park, south of the western dirt road that leads to the beach.
How to open cosmic chests in Fortnite
This is where it gets complicated. For starters, Cosmic Chests won’t “activate” themselves until you or a squadmate approach them. Once you do, a five-minute timer will begin, which is as long as the chest remains in place before disappearing.
If everyone is ready, the chest will link (represented by a pink laser beam) to a squadmate, meaning it’s your turn to hit. Hitting the chest with the pickaxe at random will cause the character to recover; instead, you should always hit the weak point.
From here it’s pretty straightforward, as the chest will select another party member at random as it slowly begins to break apart. Continue like this a couple of times as you take turns and the Cosmic Chest will open.

Fortnite Cosmic Chest Rewards: What can you find inside the Cosmic Chests?
You may be wondering what all the confusion surrounding Cosmic Chests is about, and rightly so. Depending on where you land on the Battle Royale map, there’s a chance you and your squad will have to make a small detour to open them.
You can expect loot of varying rarity, from weapons to ammo to shield potions. However, there’s no guarantee of getting rare or legendary loot, so if your squad already has good gear, actively searching for cosmic chests won’t be a game-changer.
That said, there is a chance to obtain Alien Artefacts, the season-specific currency.
Be aware that there appears to be a cap that limits the number of artifacts you can obtain from Cosmic Chests.
In a discussion started by SuspectIsDown on reddit, it looks like there might be a weekly limit of 15 alien shards, giving you an idea of how many you need to open before each set of new weekly challenges arrives.
